This exposition was created by Marcel Rijs for KimWilde.com. Photographs were made by Katrien Vercaigne, except the photograph of the Geranium phaeum 'Samobor' and the two photographs in the 'Media' section which were made by Marcel Rijs. The photographs of 'The making of...' were made by Kim Wilde. The sketches featured in 'The making of...' were made by Judith Glover.
The 'Media' section features reports previously broadcast by BBC Television (UK) and ITV Television (UK).
Richard Lucas contributed corrections and additions to the 'Background article', which was written by Katrien Vercaigne. Richard also helped identify some of the plants in the 'Plant list'.

Photographer in action

Katrien: I am over the moon having had the chance to photograph Kim's gold award winning garden in such detail. A lot of time and effort has gone into the photographs and scans, but I loved every minute of it. I feel very rewarded for all my work when I see the virtual book Marcel made so professionally. I would like to thank Marcel Rijs for coming along on the gardening journey with me to Chelsea and the positive feedback.
I would like to thank Richard Lucas, for making me feel very welcome 'inside' the Cumbrian Fellside Garden, the help with 'inside' information on the article and some plant names and thank you for all your kindness. I would like to thank Kim Wilde for designing this 'golden' little romantic space, for posing so willingly amidst the crowd and for your lovely kindness.

Richard: I would like to thank you so much for your excellent coverage of our Chelsea Garden on KimWilde.com. Katrien's photographs are brilliant, and the whole exposition is very well presented - it's a credit to you both.
As you know it was the first time at Chelsea for Kim and myself, and whilst it was very hard work, we had a great time too. It is certainly an experience that I will never forget. What helped to make it so special was the amazing support we had from so many people, from our respective partners, Hal & John, to the other Chelsea exhibitors. They all helped us, whether we were in need of a bag of moss or a bottle opener! We couldn't have managed without them. I have learnt a lot whilst working with Kim, She is a natural and very talented gardener, and I look forward to creating another garden with Kim for you all to enjoy!
Kim and I were overwhelmed by the incredible response we had from the public for our 'Cumbrian Fellside Garden', and we were honoured to receive the BBC viewers vote for their favourite small garden. I would personally like to thank all the supporters of KimWilde.com who I know were so enthusiastic about our Chelsea Garden.

Marcel: My first exposition on a garden could never have been as extensive as it is now without Katrien, who surprised me yet again with her fabulous camera work. Richard and Kim were most gracious hosts amid the busy traffic of the Chelsea audience, and I feel very thankful for that. Many thanks also to Nick Boyles who was, as always, our main man in the aftermath.
Thanks to this expo, I finally know my Asplenium scolopendrium from my Phleum pratense!
